I got all my gorgeous High Hopes jungle animals stamps together for this Shadow Box card and stamped them in Versafine Black onyx, coloured with prismacolor pencils and oms and then cut them out. I cut my card to fit a UK size C6 envelope and then stamped the background piece with High Hopes Banana tree and corner leaves, watercoloured and arranged the cut out animals over it using the front piece of card with a rectangle cut out as a guide. I added some pieces of distressed stripes CB embossed card to the border and sponged with Ranger distress ink and the the snake, monkey mike, sentiment and flowers around it. Added stickles to the flower centres to finish. I think I might move Monkey Mike to the centre and add more flowers on the other side as the animals don't quite look balanced to me now that I see the photo uploaded. TFL, as always.
